- Another so called BUILT transmission with ZERO miles... All started out with the customer’s son miss stabbing the transmission’s torque convertor oops. The unit never worked after putting fluid in it so he yanked it back out and brought it to us after seeing a couple of these SUPPOSEDLY built transmission videos. So all that being said I hope they got a decent job the first time let’s find out together. I hope everyone enjoys thanks for watching. 👍🏼❤️🙏🏼

Facts bro lmao made me not wanna work on my shit lol spending the whole day lol
@@paisa013 he got to this level by doing it for years. Im sure the first time he opened a trans it was a shit show, just like everyone else the first couple times they do anything. Keep workin on your shit, eventually itll go from a full day, to half a day, to a few hrs
Was juuuuuuuuuust thinking the same thing.
Best bet is to accept the fact you're going to get dirty while changing your oil. Dont be a Nancy about it.

I have no idea what he's talking about but it's fascinating!
You have to be a goddamn genius to pull one of these things apart is so complex and many parts oh, I'd like to have him this one of our United States Marine Corps recruits great jumping yellow blazer jumping yellow jackets goddamn geniuses
I do
Just listen to what he's telling you and then you'll understand the characteristics and the pressure that required to use this thing and also the gaskets, the gaskets have to be precisely in place oh, he taught us a lot and video so quick look at it again you will get a good understanding what's going on there I promise you

@Bob Watters its complex to mirror the action of fuzzy logic.. since a computer sees off and on there is no otherway to imitate 'feathering a clutch'
In other words if you tell a computer to run a manual it will let the clutch go and the car will stall or jump like a bucking bronco ...
The fuzzy logic at least keeps it a an audible THUNK.. and that was early transmissions now they are so advanced with throttle management and timing to change based on how you drive
My transmission is perfectly fine but I want him to rebuild it anyway.
Me too. Have a brand new truck and I just feel like it could be so much better if Richard rebuilt it!
When mine goes out I’m gonna see if I can ship it to him lol
Hahahahhahahaha
hahahah 100%!!
same... where is this guy out of i want to check shipping rates
Holy sheiss, this guy completely dissected and evaluated that trans in less than 15 minutes. PRO AF.
He was working slow to show the process. A tear down can be done in around 3 minutes, faster if there is a bet.

The industry typically doesn't pay well enough to KEEP guys like this. Last shop I worked in I was making 19/hour and now I make more than that messing with automatic doors. These guys are out there but they usually own their own shop, instead of working for some quack or a large chain.

Something tells me this guy has been into a transmission before.
Naa don't think so 😂
He did when he talked about tearing them apart as a kid.
May have spent a little time reading a Haynes manual😄
He's been into trans
I agree with you
at first i thought: ''oh yeah sure, i'll understand how this works''
and then he took off the bottom pan and unearthed the fucking labyrinth.
The number of guys that truly know these things is getting smaller and smaller by the day. I’ve been a tech for over 10 years and this would have taken me much more time and attention to get it right. This is master class stuff right here.
I had a friend show me a Shift kit he bought. It was that labyrinth you saw. Oh yeah COOL . NOT A CLUE
@Waldel Martell what is what stuff called?
@Waldel Martell this guy has developed a very specialized skill set working on transmissions all day every day. No different than specializing in building engines. You can be a mechanic doing general repairs. This guy has decided to specialize in one specific niche. While I’m sure he’s capable of doing almost any repair, I’m sure I could run circles around him doing engines or front end work, because I do it more often.
The labyrinth is called a valve body and is the circuit for transmission fluid to pass through to either a clutch pack or a band, obviously it goes through other places before the clutch pack but it's the ultimate destination
Man, it's crazy how many parts are in a transmission. Watching this guy casually taking it all apart you KNOW he has experience. Every time he opens something, another 50 parts fall out. Transmissions have some insane engineering and no wonder it costs so much to rebuild.
Any old jackass can kick a barn down but it takes a carpenter to build one.
I was thinking the same, I'd have to take pictures at every step lol.
@@Rizzbulla That's how I work on anything these days because your smartphone makes it easy to keep track. Sometimes I'll use small video clips too!
I just found this channel, and now I'm on a two-day-long binge of transmission rebuilds. I also have an overinflated confidence that I would be able to do any of this.
You should do it! I just rebuilt my 4r100 not gonna lie it was extremely stressful but its been back in for about a week and I couldn't be happier 🤙
I've been building transmission and transfer cases for years! The one thing I teach at my college tech class is cleanliness! When u think u have it clean, clean it some more!

Good video. At 5:45 of this video, what is that plate holding so many bolts, what is it's purpose?
Thanks.
Guys like this don't get nearly enough credit. The amount of skill and experience on display here is astonishing.
But $1000 labor isn't chump change either. He pays himself well for all that skill and experience, as he should. I'm jealous, to be completely honest.
@@jrb982 tbh $1000 in labor is not that much for having an expert do the work. You are paying for the years it took him to learn his trade. It's the same with doctors and engineers. Worth their money not because the time it takes for the product but rather the years it took to get to the point to do perfect work in a shorter period without problems.
It always refreshing to see truly skilled people practicing their craft.
That is a fact!
@@jrb982 that’s cheap to get a quality product that you don’t have to take out again. People are getting killed paying labor to install and then take out junk transmissions.
Who disliked this?
The guys who previously rebuilt the trans?
Lmfao..... you know it! Who could give him a thumbs down besides a transmission guy who screws people for a living.
lol, he even convinced some of his "loyal" customers to come and down vote it some more
Took the words right outta my mouth.
🤣😅😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The whole teardown looks in a way like an autopsy. The reddish fluid contributes to the authenticity.
Fun Fact: that table he's using is an actual autopsy table from a coroner's office. Richard got it a few years back and found it works great for those liquidy teardowns. The blood drain carries all that red transmission oil into a catch bin.

Roflmao
It's the truth there is a lot of work when it comes to messing with the transmission and that's why people will scrap them when they hear transmission problems
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here having never touched a transmission thinking how could they have the gall to not replace ____.
Lol best comment of the day🤣

"Yep that should be hardened..."

:D I wouldn't even know the first thing about any of this work; it might as well be magic as far as I'm concerned.

Dude, that was a great comment.
This guy should be teaching the newest generation of transmission technicians! Stumbled across his You Tube channel a day or so ago, & he is amazing! Every consumer who is planning to spend money on transmission repairs should first watch this video! The best part is, with so many years of experience and his level of expertise, you can actually trust what he’s telling you!
i did this very same thing with my dad when i was a kid, it took 2 days, this man just did it in 15 minutes, and explained everything. im gonna go out on a limb and say that this guy has done this a few times.
A lot of times 😳
A SHIT load of times..
$2,000 to rebuild a transmission? That seems crazy!
Watches video: "ok, who do I make the check out to?"
Won't $2000 buy either an already rebuilt transmission for some cars
35 years ago I had my transmission rebuilt for $1,500. I would be THROWING $2,000 at these experts to rebuild my transmission in 2020. I am in awe of the skill I just witnessed.
@@chrismc410 Yes, but this is a "built" transmission to handle high horsepower likely for some type of motorsports, not just everyday driving.

I can't believe that anyone can remember how all those parts go back together.

Don't ever attempt to work on a transmission myself
Richard is the best gearbox mechanic on the planet, and a really humble dude. I want an apprenticeship more than anything. His family is super lucky.
I'd love to see him walk into AAMCO pretending to apply for a job. "So, have you ever worked on Transmissions?" Him: "Well, no. But if you let me see one I'll try to figure it out..."
This man has too much self respect to work for Aamco...Well, to be fair, the majority of Aamcos.

I remember when i helped a buddy rebuild his trans. We stripped it down and the next day he put everything in a box and took it to a transmission shop. Lol
😆
ya fucking ridiculous...maybe fun to take apart but good luck putting it together ahaha
I’m a mechanic, IVE BEEN THERE! Lol tried rebuilding a transmission before ended up throwing in trash and buying a used one.
Yeah, that would be me too. Only one misplaced part would mess up the final operation.
LOL. Been there before. Much easier for the shop if you let them take it apart. Better yet let them install it so you don't stack the pump like the owner did with this one.

Well...know you have seen some epic shit. His efficiency is nearly God like. I look like a monkey trying to fug a football when tearing down and reassembling.
I grew up working on cars from bumper to bumper, but when it comes to rebuilding an automatic transmission? Nope.
I keep getting him recommended too, but I also watch car shows.
I finally caved in and click, and I do not regret it!
I have all 5 speeds but i watched this too.
Same is true for me.
Disassembly cost: zero
Reassembly cost: the negotiating begins.....
Ah yes, the negotiator.
rebuild cost parts $1000,labor $1000,15 min teardown,? assembly,sounds like money maker
There is NO negotiation... you PAY the stated price, or NO transmission for YOU.
I love watching someone that really knows what they're doing work on stuff.
So much blood!
This man has over 40 years of working on transmissions. Many of these modern units weren't even thought of yet. Clutches. Pillow switches. Solenoids. I'm surprised that he can do these modern transmissions with his old school approach. This man was born with this gift
Most of the new ones are VERY similar to the 50 year old units, with just some newer tech applied to them.
Watching him take all the bolts and different parts and just tossing them in a random pile gives me so much anxiety. This guy lives transmissions.
Yeah, my OCD was on overload watching that.
Same. Guaranteed it would live the rest of its life in a bunch of cardboard boxes under the table if I did that.
Most of it is junk thats why
Right, I am sitting here trying to remember where each bolt goes and he just piles them up.
When you do this stuff every day it’s just becomes natural. I’ll do the same building a short block on the vehicles I work on. I know where every bolt on that engine goes just looking at it. The best part is when an apprentice comes and asks you where something goes and you can tell him without even going to look at the car.
There's just something about watching a master at anything work. It's just so humbling. You can tell this man has 10's of thousands of hours at this. And it's beautiful.
Worth his weight in gold, w/o question.
And he is paid well for his specialty!
You can tell he's been doing it since he was a kid. He understands every part
Mind. Blowing. Video. As a "fairly mechanical" kind of guy, I watch these videos in complete fascination and awe. I second *every* damn comment here. This guy is incredible in his skill and knowledge. Totally impressive and inspiring!
He just disassembled a transmission faster than Jiffy Lube can change my oil.
Jiffy Lube don't "change" oil. They just top it off and say they changed it. They're crooks!
thumbs up for the icon
One of my oldest brothers does this stuff for a living, been doing it for years.

i think it must hav been windscreen washer fluid or summink
basically when I see the oil/lubrication was everywhere.... it is NASTY to me.
if u meant when referring to that round thing on
the side, it applies the 2/4 Band to hold the rear
sun stationary via the shell, the round thing was
the servo for the apply pin. it has inbuilt accumulators.
The holes in it were grinded for faster 2/4 Apply.
I thinqué the nastiness she was referring to was the
metalically tainted oil.
Jesus christ he literally didn't waste a single movement. What a professional in action.
If you ever watch a local transmission guy who does specialized horsepower stuff, talk with a few customers and see how the work holds up. My local shop has swapped a T56 onto a 428 Cobra Jet, TH400s for truck pullers. I'm going to have a T56 put back into my TH350 Fbody, was gutted to put drive train in a 2nd gen 1980 Maro.
It really was lovely to witness!
Not to berate his skills, but if you did this all day, every day, it would become natural for you too. He IS a real professional, ethical too!
Definitely should get more money than a pill pusher.
Every time he reaches for a tool, my builder senses tingle cause I know he’s about to finesse through the next set of parts. It’s so satisfying to watch and inspirational. I learned a lot from these videos. Keep em coming!
Well stevan when are you going to build one? Or are you just running your pie hole?
This is nearly unbelievable, the amount of moving parts he has to deal with and his knowledge is astonishing.
Practice practice practice. He certainly screwed up his fair share over the years. This is master class skill level and nothing but time and experience earns you that.
@@mattorey5816 exactly
It seems like the parts never stop coming outta that thing. Hahah

I love watching a man who knows what he's doing. If I had to put that back together I would look at that enormous pile of parts and just start crying.
Lol
Same here
Me Too!!!
It's doable but you won't get that here. There are other channels that take you through reassembly process step by step. If you are interested. It is intimidating at first, but if you take your time, one sub assembly at a time, you will be successful. I have done it many times.
The first handful of bolts just shoved to the side with complete confidence to know exactly where they go was enough to impress me. Then floored the rest of the way.
It's so satisfying watching this guy, apperently doing this for decades, how quickly he disassembles it but clearly still exactly knowing what he's doing!
That's the kind of mechanic you would like to give your car to.
Everytime I’m like alright that’s gotta be the whole assembly, then he just keep pulling stuff apart.....like it’s a 4 dimensional object that just continues to keep spewing matter from within itself LOL
Same. The case aint but soo big. How in the heck does all those bits move around stay lubricated & "not try to cut the case apart"? Im not giving up a stickshift for that mess!
Funny
Wait till he gets onto subatomic level!
@@williscurry6557 You are delusional. Stickshift is as messy as you can be, and needs shims and heat and pullers and a lot of expertise to be fixed. *Or else* face clashing, whining, falling out of gear and gear stripping.

@@Gavichap Synchros, selector forks, and direct gears are much more simple than hydraulics, transmission bands and planetary gearsets
I bet there's a lot of guys in Amarillo, Texas runnin scared that Richard's gonna name names on who is ripping people off.
@Ben T. There's no worry of slander/libel if he's on camera disassembling the units in question. I get that if a customer specifically asks for a cheap rebuild they know they're getting all used parts, but when a shop is paid to perform a full rebuild and cheats the customer with a band-aid trans that might last 10K is an entirely different matter.
I checked google maps. There are seventeen transmission shops in Amarillo. Richard has some heavy competition.
His idea of being on CZcams and sharing his skills is a great marketing idea.
@@jamallabarge2665 Great marketing idea? It’s genius, it’s what sets him apart from the rest. You’re able to see his work and how particular and and detailed he is, before even paying him a cent. His goal is to be a trustworthy transmission shop, and filming his work is the only real way to prove those claims in the auto tranny rebuilding world, so you know you’re getting what you pay for, I don’t see how he has competition at all... the transmission shops that don’t film their autopsies are the ones I’d have a bad time trusting with even just my torque converter.
I think if your shop has certifications or is a franchise it might be possible to lose certification or a franchise by defaming another certified or franchise shop.
@@DallasNutsch I can just about guarantee that he is not in a franchise, unless he owns the Franchise! Besides I have not heard of a franchise transmission shop call Precision Transmission!
I can rebuild/repair/replace any part of a vehicle....except an automatic transmission. This video reminds me why. This guy seriously knows his stuff. Majorly impressed.
The speed at which this guy moves makes me nervous, but you can tell he's been doing it forever and really knows his stuff.
it is child's play to him. I'm not impressed by someone who's done the same thing over and over so much they just can run through it. I'm impressed by someone like einstein who can conjure the future of all mankind from nothing but a thought.
As an engine mechanic thats not very "in-tune" with how transmissions work, specifically automatics, it was amazing to watch that FULL disassembly in about 15 minutes. Huge props boss man.
i lost my interes after seeing wires,fuck that shit
Same here. I can do engine stuff all day. Automatic transmissions are witchcraft and voodoo.
@@turbolq4 I can grasp everything mechanically, but I have no knowledge of things like the valvebody and so on. No idea how the pressure is dealt with and whatnot aswell. I can understand the converter getting fluidic pressure to press out similar to a manual, but thattttt where it stops for me.
You said it great, witchcraft and voodoo lol. "I can make it vroom, someone else can make it zoom." Ahaha
Pretty sure I could get it apart a little faster.
Of course nobody would ever be able to reassemble it! 🙃
you guys its not that hard to understand, the trans fluid acts like a red bull and when the motor spins the trans gets all torqued out and angry and takes out on the rear end. 20 years as a mechanic and that is as far as i ever tried to know about them.
2 dislike are from the previous shop owner and mechanic .
It's a pleasure to watch someone work, when they know what they are doing. Nice job!
this guy knows so much around this transmissions .its awesome. hes hands move before his mind can think .. oh my god . great work loved the video
I've never seen this channel before. But that was like watching a ballet dancer who's practiced the same ballet for thousands of hours. Simply amazing. I wish I was that good at...anything...
"How do you play at Carnegie hall? Practice"
Pick something, embrace sucking at it fully, 10,000 hours later, you'll be this good at it.
It looks outlandish because most people give up after a few hundred hours, but if you keep at it in earnest, you can truly be good at anything.
If you would like to see him assemble this transmission back again, all you have to do is download the video and play it in reverse.
100% guaranteed reassembly!
But the end product is broken :(
CZcams should have that function on its videos, would be fun. 😋
@@77gravity LMFAO... now that was funny!
@@marcellemay7721 Thank you, Sir or Madam.
I did this, the part where all the fluid got sucked into the trans was the best lmao
Yea, I need something. I need to come learn how to rebuild a transmission, from you. I agree, that you have to be a genius to rebuild a transmission. Absolutely amazing. I love it.
I’m amazed at how simply he just ripped apart that transmission. Like it was nothing.
😆 as someone who does this everyday all day for the last 14 yrs tear down is pretty simple.
I give Richard a lot of credit for not talking down the competition. His work and attention to detail speak for itself.
It's a noble gesture, but they should be called out.
Why call them out? It's cash for life for his shop. They keep making junk, the dirtybird gets better parts.
I'm from Alabama and when I need transmission work done for my project, I know exactly where I'm going to go. The distance is doesn't matter to me at all because of quality work.
I'm in North Dakota, and I swear on a stack of Bibles when the trans dies in my rig I'll haul it down there.
@@ryanriel2329
True. Richard probably knows the shop and won't say. Professional courtesy.
If I was in the customer in the situation I would have gone back to the first shop and made them fix the thing right for free and then take it back over to Richard's place then have him go through it again.
$2,000 for a basic rebuild and you're the one rebuilding it man that's a steal
For what he puts into them it’s a major steal! It cost more than that for a carry out and they actually remove and install it for you. I know where I’ll go when my truck needs a rebuild.
And a friction.
Is that his price?
Absolutely.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 I'd guess that's for a run of the mill rebuild.. if you want billet shafts, etc of course the price will go up
I get so excited, and full of appreciation watching a skilled tech...who has passion, and honestly insists on doing a job right.....cares about delivering to the customer a excellent product.
That is rare in the transmission business.
I like watching an expert do his thing from time to time, it's a humbling experience.
this is my transmission. there are many like it, but this one is mine....
Oorah, semper fi!
I might a be a bit drunk but that cracked me the fuck up
@@mattsch6646
I'm sober and laughed out loud.
No wait...
Dam, took 3 doubles and it got funnier.
Not mine. I drive stick. And those really are quite simple.
Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to completely take apart my transmission and rebuild it on my lunch break thanks to your video. 👍
I'm starting to think this isn't his first time doing this
He had a 7 step instructable on a screen behind the camera.
I'm super impressed with the tear down cuz you made it look like childs play !!! You can tell that you guys know exactly what you are doing !!!
This dude just pulled that entire transmission apart in 18 minutes. A true expert.
i took apart my toaster last week to clean it, i felt like a champ afterwards, not so much now...
I emptied my vacuum cleaner and felt the same way!
His knowledge of transmissions can’t not be passed down, the other bloke probably thought he did an awesome job and this dude was like hold my beer
We all have to start somewhere :)
This is legitimately one of the most interesting and impressive videos Ive seen in weeks.
I got a 2012 c6 grandsport with heads , cam and circle d converter. Watching this channel gives me so much better understanding of whats going on in my 6l80.
This guy is fantastic, wish there were more around like him.
I can smell the transmission fluid through the video. XD
haha I was just going to comment that I can smell this video!
I've been inside PLENTY of machines, this is nothing new to me. But his performance brings the entire video to life! I wiped my eye when it squirted him...lol
In the world of auto mechanics that gentleman is a true artist.
Extremely impressed with this video. I couldn't imagine having all these parts laying on the table and knowing where they go. This alone tells me that this guy knows his shit.
Respect to the technician! These transmissions are not so common in my country so i find this very interesting! Props!
His mechanical aptitude goes off the scale. Thank God for people like him that can do this type of work.
This guys hands must be so hydrated. If you wrung his hands out you might get a quart of oil
Yeah about that, maybe he should consider some PPE like gloves. I know it sucks but getting cancer from all the carcinogenic stuff in the oils and fluids is not cool either
What’s on your skin is in your body..
@@gideonwackers7693 - ya'll don't need make no nevermind 'bout all that, ya hear?
@@gideonwackers7693 yep, not worth getting cancer. I always try to wear gloves when working on my cars
I have a buddy who is fanatical about PPE, often preaching about it with a cigarette hanging on his lip...
I have no knowledge about transmissions or how they work but holy crap there's a lot of parts and it seems like you can tear down and rebuild one of these with your eyes closed! It's fun to see someone good at their job.
Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to completely take apart and rebuild my transmission on my lunch break thanks to this video. 👍
I always thought rebuilding your transmission was overpriced. I now understand that $2k is money well spent.
Like the wizard said sometimes you don't get your money's worth ,it all comes down to the mechanic what sucks is they're not all like the master builder here.
That's just a tear down, you still need to clean and measure EVERYTHING going back in and that's a lot more work. This is why mechanics usually don't rebuild in a shop anymore, they just swap for a rebuild with warranty from a rebuilder and then send in the core. Or they just send the car to a 3rd world country and let them do a good enough 3rd world rebuild once in a while, or pull a junkyard crashed vehicle's transmission.
exactly.
Not speaking of all professions but GENERALLY your cost is one third of the bill you present to the customer. This guy is doing charity work at 50/50.
@@davidkearnes9623 Yes he is! My 4L80E was $3500. But that was opening one end, dumping everything inside out and rebuilding with all new and/or upgraded.
Spend your money once. Precision Transmission 🎯
The owner probably went back to the first shop and wanted warranty. The first shop probably said "You stacked the pump. Your an idiot." .
You know transmissions and are one smart son of a gun. The videographer did a great job as well. Excellent explanation of the shortcomings of cheaply "built" transmissions.
This guy was born with a gift to rebuild other people's junk. And make it good again. You don't learn this in transmission school. It's a gift
I'm just flabberghasted at how many parts there are in an auto trans, more and more just kept coming out!
Lol this made my day, dont know if your a auto guy but yep pretty fucked little pieces of amazingness arent they
Ironically, not many actual gears in it. Only have a sense of manual transmissions which are small but have lots of gears. This auto is big with few gears and lots of valves, solenoids, and other control devices... and fluid, I guess.
There are more parts in an automatic transmission that in any other single major component of a vehicle. An engine has far fewer parts than an automatic transmission.
@@Kimoto504 That's true. All planetary gears. You don't need that many. The gear changes happen by stopping different parts of each planetary gear system and the combination of the combined planetary gearsets.
@@58Galtha
except in a cvt transmission (variomatic)
What they didn't show: He got the parts and rebuilt it blindfolded.
In his sleep*
With one hand tied behind his back
Hand cuffed
In under 5 minutes.
From the other side of the room!
I blew a transmission years ago in a Chevy S-10. Shop kept all the parts for me, some became a wind chime. I really liked the teardown and now I see how the mechanism stacks up.
Bummed someone got taken by a shady shop. Stoked that you got the job to show us the right way.
Going to look at your Ebay tranny video now.
Cheers and please keep the good work coming.
This guy handled that engine with the precision of a brain surgeon while carrying on a full conversation with the cameraman. Immense respect at this man's skill.
You should see what he can do with a transmission.
@@dhuze66 lol thats what i was going to say 😂
The engineering genius involved in the creation of an automatic transmission to begin with is mind blowing
Genius? Not really. More like lots of hard work and creative application of existing technology. Spend a few minutes understanding how planetary gears work, they are the heart of an automatic transmission. All the hydraulics and electronics are refinements on the theme that enable the thing to shift by itself.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 Most people watching this don't realize all that stuff....clutch discs, bands, drums, pump, valve body...are there to manipulate those two planetary gear sets.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 You're absolutely right. Some people are just amazed by the simplest things, I suppose.
@@melmc8888 damn dude, don’t need to act like a high and mighty prick, a shit ton of people don’t know jack about anything, I just picked up a new snowblower for free, all it needed was a qfc and sparkplugs, fixed it in 10 minutes, sold it for 150$, Most people when something breaks they just give up and sell it
@@davemathew1888 I will admit there was a touch of sarcasm there , but I wasn't be a dick, Mister Sensitive. For the record I am pretty mechanically inclined myself. Just saying that the whole idea of the transmission is pretty innovative
Thank you for giving lots of your opinions on your own recommendations ,I enjoy watching your vlogs , from Rockin H Performance Transmission Repair of Gallup,New Mexico
He even stopped himself from cursing on camera, which was wholesome as fuck. This dude is a legend.
Never actually seen a complete full teardown like that! He’s a real professional.now I know what’s involved.
If I ever need to do mine it makes me think I'll just do it, but then again time is money so $2,000 is cheap really in another video he says he has about $1000 in parts and then $1000 labor. But it's worth it.
